When you look at kids, one in three will get diabetes; one in five has an abnormal cholesterol level.

Plant-based diets, they’re good for everybody and especially good for kids because it helps them stay slim and healthy.

Dr. Michael Klaper – Vegan medical doctor and author, USA (M):
High blood pressure comes back down to normal. Blood sugars and adult-onset diabetics returns to normal. Sore joints go away.

The more plant-based the better and the ultimate plant-based diet is the vegan diet.

Being a vegetarian to me was my edge: the way I was going to be ahead of the next guy trying to get my job, the way I was going to be ahead of the guy I had to play against. He couldn’t beat me as long as he was harboring tons of flesh in his stomach at that time.

The fish and the pigs are my favorite.

Because we love animals. Because they don't like to get eaten.

Little girl - Vegan daughter of The Raw Divas founder Tera Warner Canada:
